Rejoicing in the Lord

Psalm 104:24-25, 33-34 24 Lord, you have done so many things! You made them all so wisely! The earth is full of your creations! 25 And then there’s the sea, wide and deep, with its countless creatures— living things both small and large. 33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I’m still alive. 34 Let my praise be pleasing to him; I’m rejoicing in the Lord!

Job 41:11Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.To grasp the weight of Job 41:11, we must look at the larger picture—specifically, chapters 38 through 42. Some scholars believe Job is the oldest book in the Bible, which, if true, underscores a timeless struggle: Why do bad things happen to good people? And just as ancient is the mistaken assumption that suffering must be punishment for wrongdoing. The first 37 chapters detail Job’s misfortunes and his

The Whole Earth is Full of His Glory

Isaiah 6:3 (NIV) “And they were calling to one another, holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty- the whole earth is full of his glory.” This passage details Isaiah’s vision of God’s heavenly throne room where angelic beings declare that the whole earth is full of his glory. This means God is present in everything on earth. His glory is reflected in the seasons, the ocean’s waves, skies of blue and gray, the sounds of children playing and even in quiet moments of reflection. In our fast paced lives we

The Mustard Seed

Mark 4: 30 to 32He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” A tiny seed growing to great stature! That is what we can all be! Through our actions we can be the wind that gusts upon the

Colossians 1:15-17 "[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." While under house arrest in Rome, the apostle Paul had a visit from a man named Epaphras. Epaphras started the church in Colossae, a city in Asia Minor

Welcome! We have so many questions about the world around us, there is much we do not know about how and why our universe works the way it does. Today’s scripture reading does make one thing clear about our world…hear these words from the Book of Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 14. Everything belongs to the Lord your God, not only the earth and everything on it, but also the sky and the highest heavens. Everything? That means all the physical things we can see, mountains and oceans, cities and fields,

Psalm 19: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalm 19 is the inspiration for a familiar hymn, “For the Beauty of the Earth.” The lyrics begin: For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies Lord of all, to thee we raise This our joyful hymn of praise. These words from the hymn are familiar to many of us. They express wonder and awe at God’s creation. We all have sunrise and sunset

Psalm 24:1“The earth is the Lord’s and all who live in it.”I remember when I was a little girl studying in school about the Sun, the Moon, the nine planets, and the far away stars. Yes, there were nine planets at that time, including little Pluto. My grandmother used to let me read from her huge family Bible that sat in a prominent place of honor, in her living room. I loved reading the creation story in Genesis 1 – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth…” The story goes on to
